Birthday Party Themes for Older Kids and Teens
Murder Mystery Birthday Party Theme

By , About.com Guide

These are so much fun as you play detective and find out who killed who - while trying not to get killed yourself! If you have anything you want to add to our theme ideas, please email me .

  • Purchase a Murder Mystery Game, either online or at a party store.
  • If you are really into having a party theme, try the script type murder mystery party games. Then have all of the guests come dressed in the party theme.
  • Serve food buffet style so that guests have plenty of time to talk and find out clues.
  • Pick your game to suit your time schedule. There are some games that go for approximately two hours and some that can last all day and into the night.
  • To add mystery toany conversation, always answer questions with a question, such as: "Really?" or "Isn't that interesting?"
